My latest COMC shipment made its way through the latest postal strike to my place, and as always, it is filled with 2/14 content. Including some new names! Let's meet them!
Dennis @ Too Many Verlanders is pretty good when I send out the Bat-Signal for a card that is on ebay in the US, and that I don't want to pay $20+ shipping for a base card. I knew the odds of getting a team issued Ohio State card was nill, so I just so waited for this to drop to a reasonable price to add it. You'll be seeing a card that wasn't of a Buckeye in a future post that qualified as a Bat-Signal card.The 2/14 baby among this sticker is Iheb Mbarki, as the other football makes its appearance in this post as well. He's probably the first Tunisian in my collection as well. So, there's also that.The 2005 Sinon Bulls team set is so obscure, it doesn't even appear at TCDB. But there were enough other Chao Hang Cheng (or Cheng Chao-Hang) cards there for him to make the birthday list, and to find one card of his at COMC.Finally, not only does Kris Huffman enter the collection, but he also will enter with a complete cardboard history into the collection, as these were the only two cards of his career. Still two more than I have, though!Kris Huffman was also the hardest of this group to see if they passed the google test, as he matches up with both a winless MMA fighter and an NCAA women's basketball coach that was far more successful with her career.
There you have it!
